Seller's Description:
VG/G, dj has wear and rub marks. Covers and pages clean and tight. Pictorial dj; white/black dot cover, orange letteriing on spine. 204 pages: chiefly illustrations (some color). "Beene by Beene is a journey through Geoffrey Beene's life in fashion, a forty-year exploration that was, by turns, visionary, witty, reverent, irreverent, prophetic, and brilliantly timeless. James Wolcott introduces the book with an essay full of insights and appreciation of Beene's achievement. Pamela A. Parmal, a long-time admirer of Beene's work has written a biographical profile of Beene and discusses the evolution of his work. Her text is followed by a suite of chapters each. Focusing on a theme or an influence that was a constant source of inspiration to the designer. Beene worked closely with co-author MaryLou Luther on the text, and he also selected and sequenced the images in each chapter, thus offering a gallery of images that shows these influences living structurally, materially, and philosophically in Beene's designs. A dress from one decade may share the page with a jumpsuit from another decade and both look undated, without discord, because both. Pieces are pursuing the same truths. How are women moving through their days? Is the fabric young and easy in its seems? Is a silhouette speaking? What Beene sees as beautiful can be innocent or sly, a technical tour de force, or a shape made with one shy seam. But the beauty is always honest, coherent-invention born of precision."--BOOK JACKET. Contents: Essay / by James Wolcott--Geoffrey Beene / by Pamela A. Parmal--Beene's women--The body--Fabric: material witness--Comfort--Man and sport--Geometry--Foreign exchange--Presentation--Crosswords--Plat
